Fibrus has reflected on its most successful year to date as 2023 comes to an end.
The company is currently transforming digital infrastructure in the UK and has invested over £700 million in bringing full fibre broadband to properties in Northern Ireland and Cumbria.
Fibrus has been recognised for its industry-leading achievements, having won or been shortlisted for 17 awards across the UK and Ireland in 2023.
Recently, Fibrus secured a top spot in Deloitte's 2023 Technology Fast 50 Awards, a ranking of the fastest growing tech companies in Ireland. Making its debut on the list in 2022, Fibrus is one of nine companies from Northern Ireland to appear in the top 50.
Chief Financial Officer Colin Hutchinson said: "Our research has pinpointed three key areas where consumers feel let down by other providers: reliability, speed and value for money.
"Based on this insight, Fibrus has further optimised its brand and product offering to deliver a first-in-class alternative that trumps the competition.
"Earlier this year, Fibrus teamed up with eero, an Amazon company, to launch a Total Home Wi-Fi product to guarantee customers coverage in every room of the house.
"As a result, we have seen our customer base treble in a year, to over 60,000 customers."
In 2023, Fibrus was shortlisted for or won seven people and culture awards, including the prestigious accolade of the Investors in People UK Employer of the Year Award.
The company's Chief People Officer Linda McMillan said: "Our people are the differentiator in the success of Fibrus.
"We're working hard to ensure we’re a fabulous employer by listening, supporting, challenging and involving our colleagues. It’s really reassuring to know that we're doing things right by being recognised by a range of best-in-class awards."
